Gurren Lagann Abridged
Josefumi for Simon/Older Simon
Core Vibe: Awkward mole‑kid who constantly wonders how he ended up in a mecha anime.
Voice Direction: Nervous, stammering delivery for most lines, with sudden, hilariously overblown bursts of “shonen protagonist mode” that feel like he’s trying way too hard to live up to Kamina’s hype.
Personality Tweaks:
Self‑aware about being the “backup protagonist” until Kamina dies.
Overthinks everything, even when piloting a giant robot.
His Spiral Energy speeches sound like he’s reading motivational posters out loud for the first time.
- male young adult
- male teen
- older teen voice
- young voice
(early Simon) “Uh… guys? Maybe we don’t fight the giant death robot? Maybe we just… chill and dig around some.”
(mid‑arc Simon) “Believe in the me that… uh… wait, which me are we believing in again? I lost track.”
(finale Simon) “I’m not just a mole kid anymore—I’m a mole kid with a solar system sized drill, and yes that is a penis reference."
